ATTACH M ENT FOR PLOWS` SPECIFICATION-forming part of Letters Patent No. 224,223, dated February 3, 1880.

' Application filed December 5, 1879. Y

To all whom it 'may concern:`

Be it known that I,'LEvI PRICE, of Greston, in the county of Ogle and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Plows; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art'to which it appertains to make and use the same,

' reference being had to the accompanying draw its nature consists in` providing the device with adisk-plate adjustable toward or from the plow or cultivator beam, and in providing a disk-plate with an adjustable tooth-socket and an adjustable spring-tooth, as hereinafter more fully set forth and described.

In the annexed drawings, Figure l is a top or plan view. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the attachment; Fig. 3, au end view; Fig. 4,'a section on line oc .1: ot' Fig. 1; Fig. 5, a reverse view of the disk detached,.and Fig. 6 a top or plan view of the clip; A

A indicates a section of cultivator or plow beam; B, the bed-plate to which the disk is attached; C, the disk; a, bolts by which the disk is attached to the plate B; b, bolt by which the standard-socket is held tothe disk;

c, standard-socket; cl,`plate working in the,

slot of the disk C; c, screw for holding the spring in place above t'ne plate d; f, the supporting-spring; g, the spring-tooth; h, projections 011 the face of the disk C for supporting the strain of the tooth and socket c; t j,

clip-plates; lc,f1ns or projections on the clip plate fi,- vl m, clip-bolts, one or both of which are made with hooked heads for clampingand holding the bent bar B.

The beam A is of any ordinary construction, as my device is applicable to any of thejforms of beams in use. The bar B is easily made by bending an ordinary tlatbar of iron into the forni shown in Fig. 1, The disk C and. socket o are preferably made of cast-iron in the form shown.

The disk C is provided vertically across its center with aV slot having ledges or projections` for holding the plate ol in place, as shown at Fig. 5.

' The tooth g is a light spring-tooth made of steel. In the form shown it is straight at the point; but it may be given any desired curve or form.

The clip is made in the ordinary form, ex-

cept that the upper plate, i, is provided withV two anges or fins, la, which form a socket into which the arms B t. They are held in piace by the bolt l, which serves vthe double purpose, by reason of its hooked head, of locking the clip and'supporting and holding the plate B. The bolt mma-y also be hooked in like manner, if desired.

The flanges k are placed at an angle, in order that they may t the plate B and allow said plate or its arms to pass between the clip-bolts, so that one bolt will be on each side of both of said arms. l

It will be obvious that this attachment may be attached to the lower side of the beam instead ofthe upper, as shown. A

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. VThe slotted disk C, in combination with plate d, socket c, spring f, andbolt c, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2L The spring-tooth g, socket o, and plate d, i

in combination with .the shoulders h of the disk C, spring f, and bolt c, substantially as and for thepurposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have-hereto aXed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

LEVI PRICE.
